Description
It seems that there is a special kind of people - mirror people. Those who can only shine when people are looking at them. They twirl around, trying not to hurt anyone with their sharp shards, smile a little brighter than necessary, and pretend that they are not fragile at all. Although inside, a thin thread trembles all the time - between look and don't break.
And even though the lights have long been turned off, the decorations have been taken down, and the audience has dispersed, they still stand on tiptoe, shining with their last ounce of strength, as if the celebration were not over. Not because they believe it. They just don't know any other way.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I want you to know
I'm a mirrorball
I'll show you every version of yourself tonight
I'll get you out on the floor
Shimmering beautiful
And when I break, it's in a million pieces
Hush, when no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Spinnin' in my highest heels, love
Shinin' just for you
Hush, I know they said the end is near
But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes
Spinnin' in my highest heels, love
Shinin' just for you
I want you to know (want you to know)
I'm a mirrorball
I can change everything about me to fit in
You are not like the regulars
The masquerade revelers
Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten
Hush, when no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Spinnin' in my highest heels, love
Shinin' just for you
Hush, I know they said the end is near
But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes
Spinnin' in my highest heels, love
Shinin' just for you
And they called off the circus, burned the disco down
When they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns
I'm still on that tightrope
I'm still tryin' everything to get you laughing at me
And I'm still a believer, but I don't know why
I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try
I'm still on that trapeze
I'm still tryin' everything to keep you looking at me
Because I'm a mirrorball
I'm a mirrorball
And I'll show you every version of yourself tonight
